Chapter 427 admit defeat (two in one)(1/2)
Who knew that at this time Li Yuanchang stood up and shouted: "Absolutely not. These people have been exploiting the people for so many years? If you do all the bad things, you should kill them one by one. Shaoqing, please get out of the way. Today I will see me eliminating the harm for the people!"
Du Shaoqing really wanted to cover his eyes at this time, thinking that it was almost done. You are better, the more you act, the more you become more and more immersed. If you kill all these people today, then you will really be in chaos in the world.
The civil and military officials in the palace expressed helplessness. The Han King was a famous reckless man. Later, because of the demolition, he was promoted to the No. 1 hoist of the Tang Dynasty. He would not recognize anyone when he was in trouble. At this time, I am afraid that only the emperor could stop him.
But when everyone looked up, the emperor seemed to have no intention of speaking. Could it be that he wanted to support the King of Han?
Wei Zheng stood up and stood in front of Li Yuanchang and blocked him, "His Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty has national laws, so lynching should not be abused!
Moreover, they only set their own prices beyond the scope of the people's endurance. Tang Lu is not as good as killing people with torture. Think twice."
"Wei Hei-faced, you get out of the way!" Li Yuanchang said angrily.
Wei Zheng was also a famous official, and no one dared to call him nickname in person in person. Li Yuanchang let go of humiliation like this, which shows how stupid it is.
At this time, Li Er spoke, "Lao Qi, don't be arrogant, step back!"
"Brother, don't be ruthless..."
"Get out!"
Then someone stepped forward to hold Li Yuanchang.
The Minister of Revenue asked, "Dear patriarchs, according to the situation in the court, more than half of the business transactions in the world are in your hands. What do you say?"
Several old men looked at each other, and each of them was extremely reluctant.
One of them snorted coldly: "It's okay to ask us to lower the price, but the price set by Du Shaoqing is definitely not. We have never thought of exploiting the people, but each family has so many tribesmen to support. According to Du Shaoqing's price, all the children in our family will starve to death..."
Li Yuanchang struggled and shouted: "Bah!
Old man, it’s better for your whole family to starve to death. What do you say? Do you plunder the people and support your children in your family for nothing? Then what are so many children in your family doing? Do you eat and enjoy the happiness all day long?
I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are not used to raise you, the rice insects, you..."
The old man said angrily: "Your Highness, the King of Han, I respect you as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. I give in again and again. Is it so unworthy for me, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty?
All of our families are inherited from poetry and books. Only by supporting us and being responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation can they study hard without any worries.
Say our children are rice insects? I wonder if His Highness the King of Han, where are half of the officials in the Tang Dynasty now? We all contributed our family members to serve the country."
Speaking of this, the old man looked at the emperor with a strange look.
The emperor cursed in his heart that a group of hypocrites, who are officials of the court, only the court's salary is supported. When will you need other money to support your families?
Du Shaoqing, who was watching the battle, burst into laughter: "Everyone, this matter seems to be very controversial. Everyone thinks what they say makes sense?
If this is the way, it is better to give it to the people and see who the people will be towards?
If the people can't stand your business and are determined to ruin your business, then my Du Family Chamber of Commerce can only follow the public's opinion and work harder."
The old man said disdainfully: "Du Madam Du thought such a trick could be used?
The people's mobs wantonly smashed and smashed, which has long violated the Tang Dynasty's law. Officials from all over the country will not let it go endlessly. You should not be lucky.
To do business, you have to do it right."
"Shameless, has the Tang Dynasty rule become your amulet?" Li Yuanchang cursed angrily.
The old man was a little proud and didn't even look at Li Yuanchang. He thought to himself that he had finally taken the initiative.
"Hey, even without the Tang Dynasty's rules, they are fine. I haven't heard people say that more than half of the officials in the world are from other people..." Someone murmured in a low voice.
The Tai Chi Hall was in a noisy time, so almost no one paid attention to who this person was.
Coincidentally, the calm Du Shaoqing heard it and looked back at the young official deeply. He was a little ill and didn't recognize him, but being able to say this proves that he is not from a noble family and has a good knowledge.
Those who can enter the Tai Chi Hall to attend the dynasty meeting are basically famous figures in Chang'an, and Du Shaoqing noticed this person in his heart.
Du Shaoqing looked at the proud look of the old men, and felt very annoying, but he didn't want to talk to each other.
While thinking about countermeasures, a yeller came from outside the Tai Chi Hall, "Report, 800 miles of Longyou Road are urgently accelerated."
Um???
The Taiji Palace suddenly became quiet, and it was urgent for eight hundred miles? Where? Longyou?
Is there an enemy who invaded the Tang Dynasty? It’s impossible. The Eastern Turks had been destroyed long ago, and Gaochang in the west was also captured by the Tang Dynasty. Who else? The Western Turks couldn’t succeed? Does he dare?
Li Er said decisively: "Speed!"
Soon, the messenger who was expedited by eight hundred miles was brought up and presented a document at the same time.
"Report to Your Majesty, the people in many places in Longyoudao have rioted and beaten up three seventh-rank county magistrates to death. The governor of Longyoudao asked for an order, will they send troops to suppress them?" the man said respectfully.
Many people in the court shouted: "The mob dared to kill the imperial officials. This is a gathering of people to rebel. The local defenders do not suppress such matters. Are they waiting for the mob to attack the city and plunder the land?"
The messenger dared not speak, looked around for a while, and looked at a man in the prince's clothes, which was Li Yuanchang. It seemed that the messenger had a certain level and was not an ordinary soldier.
When Du Shaoqing saw this scene, he smiled knowingly and said to him that he would come to whatever he wanted. This time, several aristocratic families would slap in the face.
Li Er was also shocked and opened the document and read it quickly. He thought to himself, how could he be? He worked diligently when he ascended the throne, why would a mob incident happen?
But after reading it, he let out a long sigh, then shook the document at Li Yuanchang, and cursed angrily: "Hmph, you did a good thing!"
Everyone was very puzzled. This was so angry that His Majesty was not in a hurry?
Is there any time to scold the King of Han? Could it be that the King of Han was provoked by it again?
Li Yuanchang got rid of the two people who were pulling him, went up to pick up the documents and read them.
"The riots in the people's house occurred in Longyou Road. Although the scale is small, it has caused casualties among officials.
After verification, it was found that the cause was that the Qinghe Cui family's business was destroyed by the people. The local county magistrate happened to be from the Qinghe Cui family. He used his power to seek personal gain to retaliate against the people who smashed them. The people were angry and killed people and rebel against officials.
Although there have been many incidents in Longyou Road, the people did not intend to gather together to expand the scale. Behind this, there is a shadow of His Highness the King of Han.
The last general discussed with the Chief Secretary of Longyou that these were all good people in the Tang Dynasty and did not have the intention to rebel, so he did not dare to send troops to suppress and kill people without authorization. He could only report to the court quickly and ask His Majesty to make a decision..."
Li Yuanchang read the literature and history of the Longyou Dao Governor, and everyone was surprised. What happened?
How is it possible? The Tang Dynasty ruled that the people killed officials but were a death sentence. How dare they?
Who knew that Li Yuanchang laughed wildly before he finished reading: "Listen, have you heard it?"
He was right. This was done by me, Li Yuanchang. If you take revenge, come to me, Li Yuanchang will take care of me alone.
But it’s not just the people from the Cui family in Qinghe. I’m checking the harm of those who are officials outside and can’t escape…”
Li Er scolded on the dragon throne: "Lao Qi, be presumptuous! Why don't you come here as it is true? What have you done?"
Li Yuanchang raised his neck and said seriously: "I just sent someone out to see where there are bad officials, and told the local people that they could punish them. If something happened, I, Li Yuanchang, took the responsibility alone."
You...you...
Li Er seemed to have no idea, pointing at Li Yuanchang and couldn't speak.
Even Du Shaoqing admires his father-in-law's acting skills and can win the Best Actor.
Wei Zheng reprimanded: "His Royal Highness, even if the officials are bad, they have their own national laws. How can they let the people kill them? You are..."
"National law?
Wei Zheng, you are in charge of the Censorate and you don’t see how many evil officials you punished in a year. You don’t seem to be qualified to say this.” Li Yuanchang didn’t give any face at all.
Wei Zheng argued: "No one in the Censorate dares to be lazy and slack. One day, the wind of integrity will blow all over the Tang Dynasty."
"You can wait for the Censorate, but the people can't wait. No one knows how many people will be killed if you entrusted one more day. Therefore, I have a clear conscience in this matter!
If you can't stand it, even if you participate in this king, I, Li Yuanchang, don't want this throne."
Wei Zheng:...
At this time, Du Shaoqing saluted to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Du Shaoqing believes that His Highness, the King of Han, is full of public intention to ask for the people, and should not be considered for the crime, but should be remembered for merit!"
What???
Is it still a merit to inciting the people to kill officials?
There is no doubt that many people don’t accept this.
But there are also supporters. Du Shaoqing has an old friend who has always supported him. Tang Jian, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, immediately stood up and agreed.
Then Changsun Wuji also stood up, this person should have been instructed by Emperor Li Er in advance.
It’s fine if others are, but Changsun Wuji is the prime minister. This weight will definitely make many people think about it.
Sure enough, Wei Zheng took a look, shook his head and sighed and retreated. He pushed him, and the people in the Censorate seemed to have no backbone, and no one stood up to refute him. After all, except Wei Zheng, it seemed that others' backs were not strong enough.
Those officials from aristocratic families are not good, especially those from the Cui family in Qinghe. All of them die from their own children. Could it be that they died in vain?
So they stood up one by one to protest, but without Cui Junsu, the influence of their people would be reduced.
Soon the Tai Chi Palace became chaotic, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a controversy over Han King Li Yuanchang.
Finally, Li Er made a conclusion. Li Yuanchang's merits and demerits were rejected, and the court would not pursue the investigation. However, Zongzhengfu could restore his status and return his fiefdom and prince's treatment, which was also a commendation.
Du Shaoqing joked to the heads of several aristocratic families: "Everyone, have you seen it? The Tang Dynasty's laws punished evil people, but in the final analysis, it is the first goal to protect the people.
If you still have to persist, you must first ask the angry people if they agree. Du believes that even if the world is in chaos, the first thing the people do is not rebel, but destroy the culprit who is usually arrogant and blessed.
As for who is the culprit, the people can see clearly.”
